Olivia 26 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. @ Olivia: You'd love it. Read it now! Already read it, it's good! You should try Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters. I think you'd like the character Diana especially. Link to post Share on other sites
Cerendrallion 32 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 *laughs* I've read Tipping the Velvet. In fact, I've lent it out to a friend at the moment...should get it back sometime. And Affinity, by the same authour. God, I love Sarah Waters! I did like Diana (because my fanfics, I assume, you thought I'd like her? ) but Florence was my favourite. Have you seen the televised adaptions of either one? Link to post Share on other sites
Olivia 26 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I did like Diana (because my fanfics, I assume, you thought I'd like her? ) but Florence was my favourite. Yeah, I thought you'd like the dominating sex-addict. She's my favorite from that book. Have you seen the televised adaptions of either one? I didn't know there were any, but I found them on YouTube, so when I have the chance I will definitely watch them! Link to post Share on other sites

Kaitlin 22 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I didn't know there were any, but I found them on YouTube, so when I have the chance I will definitely watch them! Yes, they're both quite good also. Link to post Share on other sites
Cerendrallion 32 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 *concurs with Kaitlin* I think the Fingersmith adaption is better...but maybe that's because I have a teeny-tiny crush on Elaine Cassidy...*blushes furiously* Link to post Share on other sites

Olivia 26 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well I've watched both Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet! I knew they'd have to tone down the harsher parts of both books (especially Diana!), but they didn't soften it up enough to lose important plot points, for which I'm grateful. I can't decide which one I liked more, but they were both very good adaptations and made me smile at the end. All the women are good actors and very beautiful, but I have to say Florence was the most endearing and easiest to fall for. But Kitty was the most attractive to me, especially in her tuxedo (those Victorian outfits with the tux, top hat, cloak, and cane all in black and white have always had me willing to eat out of a woman's hand - there's no sexier outfit!) =) Thanks so much for recommending the movies to me, Laura!!

Cerendrallion 32 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Oh, I was happy too. Well, you know that Fingersmith was my favourite...but I have to say in Tipping the Velvet, Nan's voice grated on me something shocking, which was probably why I didn't like it as much. I much prefered the dresses they wore back then to the tuxedos...but each to his own, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
Olivia 26 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Nan's voice was okay except when she was whining. Just finished reading In Too Deep by Ronica Black, another lesbian fiction novel. I love uber Xena novels so much! Link to post Share on other sites
